The main BIOSCI FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) is accessible on the World Wide Web at URL http://www.bio.net/. If you can not find an answer to your question in this or other documentation, the BIOSCI technical support staff answers e-mail queries sent to biosci-help@net.bio.net We can only answer questions about the use of the newsgroups and mailing lists. We unfortunately do not have the staff to do Internet information searches or answer scientific questions. Please post those to the appropriate BIOSCI/bionet newsgroups. Contents: -------- 0) BIOSCI NEEDS YOUR SUPPORT!! 1) Using the WWW to access the BIOSCI/bionet newsgroups. 2) What to do about "spams," i.e., junk mail, ads, etc. 3) Examples of subscribing and unsubscribing to the mailing lists. 4) The BIOSCI user address and research interest directory. 0) BIOSCI NEEDS YOUR SUPPORT!! ------------------------------ BIOSCI's government funding has been expended, and we are now operating solely from advertising revenue that we have raised from our Web site at http://www.bio.net/. We need just a few minutes of your time to help us serve you. You can do two important things which will take very little time for you individually and will immensely help us continue to help you. First, please use our WWW system at http://www.bio.net/ to access the archives. You can post or reply to messages via your Web browser as described in item #1 below. Your usage helps attract sponsors. If you contact any of our sponsors, please be sure to thank them for supporting BIOSCI. It is critical for them to get this feedback if they are to continue their sponsorship for the long term. Second, if you work for a company or organization that provides products or services of interest to the biology community, please pass this message on to your marketing or marketing communications department or other appropriate group. Please ask them to help support BIOSCI by sponsoring our Web site and explain the uses and benefits of the system to the biology community. If they are interested, they can then contact us for further information at our tech support address, biosci-help@net.bio.net. 1) Using the WWW to access the BIOSCI/bionet newsgroups. -------------------------------------------------------- As of 10 December 1995, all BIOSCI/bionet full newsgroups are accessible through the World Wide Web (WWW) at URL http://www.bio.net. One can read and reply publicly or privately to both recent postings and archived messages through one's Web browser if it is configured properly to send e-mail. Each newsgroup is equipped with its own WAIS index. The main BIOSCI home page also has access to the BIO-JOURNALS Table of Contents database WAIS index and the BIOSCI user address database described in another item further below. 2) What to do about "spams," i.e., junk mail, ads, etc. ------------------------------------------------------- BIOSCI is a set of parallel USENET newsgroups (the "bionet" groups), mailing lists, and a hypermail archive at URL http://www.bio.net/. The same postings are distributed on all media (except for a small number of mailing-list-only groups at net.bio.net). Unfortunately it is becoming a despicable practice on the Internet (by a few people out to make a fast buck) to do automated mass postings to thousands of newsgroups and mailing lists. These attempts to grab free advertising are refered to as "spams" in the usual, somewhat boneheaded, net terminology. USENET is more susceptible to this practice, and many spams originate on the USENET groups and then are passed on to the mailing lists. However, spammers also get lists of mailing addresses and hit these too, so neither medium is immune. What should you do personally if you get junk mail? --------------------------------------------------- Just delete it and move on without reading it further. Filing a protest is becoming increasingly useless because spammers are often disguising the addresses where the messages are sent from. Unless you really understand Internet mail systems, your attempt at protest by sending replies to the message will often end up being sent to the address of an innocent person that the spammer is victimizing. What can BIOSCI/bionet do to protect its newsgroups? ---------------------------------------------------- The only solution currently available is to moderate the newsgroup. If this newsgroup is already moderated, then you are in good shape. Moderation protects the USENET distribution from about 95% of the spams that are being sent to date and protects the mailing lists completely. Moderation means, however, that someone has to take the time to review each message before it goes out. We have set up software here that simply allows the moderator to forward to an address at net.bio.net messages that (s)he wishes to have distributed. This takes no more time than that needed to read the message and pass it on, say about 1 min. per message. Most newsgroups currently have a discussion leader who is responsible for their newsgroup. The discussions leaders and their e-mail addresses are listed in the BIOSCI Information Sheet which is available on the Web at http://www.bio.net/. If a newsgroup is being hit with too many junk postings, please contact the discussion leader for that group and see if there is interest in moderating the group. Please do not assume that by simply posting a complaint to the newsgroup itself, anyone on the BIOSCI staff will act on your complaint. With close to 100 newsgroups to run, the BIOSCI staff has to rely on the discussion leaders of each newsgroup to report problems directly to us at biosci-help@net.bio.net. We will moderate any of our newsgroups if the discussion leader tells us that the readership of the group wishes to do so and if a moderator is willing to do the work. For most BIOSCI/bionet groups, this entails only a few minutes of work each day. Moderating a newsgroup will resolve probably 95% of the junk postings on the USENET distribution. Unfortunately there are easy ways for determined spammers to override the moderation mechanism on USENET, but we can protect our e-mail subscribers from unwanted postings if the newsgroup is moderated. You can also access our newsgroups over the WWW at URL http://www.bio.net. While this Web interface will not stop spammers from trying to post to the groups, this will give you yet another way, besides using USENET news, to keep the junk out of your personal mail files. For those of you with local USENET news systems, the Web interface will also give you faster access to new newsgroups and recent postings. 3) Examples of subscribing and unsubscribing to the mailing lists. ------------------------------------------------------------------ PLEASE NOTE: The BIOSCI management does NOT act on subscription/unsubscription requests that are posted improperly to the newsgroups and mailing lists. People who do this only bother everyone on the lists to no avail. Please be sure to follow the proper procedures below. Gory details are in the BIOSCI Information sheets on the Web at http://www.bio.net. Below we give an example utilizing the METHODS-AND-REAGENTS list at both of our two BIOSCI sites: Users in the Americas and Pacific Rim countries who use the BIOSCI ------------------------------------------------------------------ node at computer net.bio.net: ---------------------------- A) Determine the "listname" which is the <=8 character mail address ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ for the group. These can be found in the BIOSCI Info. Sheet. For the METHODS-AND-REAGENTS group the mailing address is methods@net.bio.net. The listname is the portion of the address to the left of the @ sign, i.e., "methods". The listname is used with the "subscribe" and "unsubscribe" commands illustrated below. B) Mail all commands in the body of a mail message addressed to biosci-server@net.bio.net. Do NOT send commands to the newsgroup posting addresses! Leave the Subject: line blank, any text on it will be ignored. C) In the body of your message put one or more of the following commands with an "end" command on the last line, e.g., subscribe methods unsubscribe methods end Do NOT put your e-mail address or other text on these lines. The server only allows you to cancel your subscription if the address on your mail header matches the address on our mailing list. Please ask for help at biosci-help@net.bio.net if your address has changed, e.g., if you know you are on the list but the server tells you that you are not a member. Users in Europe, Africa, and Central Asia who use the BIOSCI node at -------------------------------------------------------------------- computer daresbury.ac.uk (also known as dl.ac.uk): ------------------------------------------------- To subscribe and unsubscribe to/from the BIOSCI lists, you need to specify the full USENET newsgroup name with "bionet-news." prepended. The USENET newsgroup names are listed in the BIOSCI Information sheet on the Web at http://www.bio.net/. For the METHODS-AND-REAGENTS list the USENET newsgroup name is bionet.molbio.methds-reagnts, thus the appropriate commands are sub bionet-news.bionet.molbio.methds-reagnts unsub bionet-news.bionet.molbio.methds-reagnts These commands are included in a message addressed to mxt@dl.ac.uk, NOT to the newsgroup mailing addresses. As usual, include the text in the body of the message as text on the Subject: line is ignored. To unsubscribe from all the lists at the UK node, use unsub bionet-news Please note that if the address in the list is different than the one in your mail message header, you will not be able to unsubscribe by this method. If you have problems, please mail biosci@daresbury.ac.uk. 4) The BIOSCI user address and research interest directory. ----------------------------------------------------------- Please take this opportunity to add your name, address, and research interest information to the BIOSCI User Address Database if you have not already done so. You can fill out the address form directly through our Web page at URL http://www.bio.net/adrform.html. The address database is reindexed nightly for WWW access (the URL is http://www.bio.net/). If you are not directly on the Internet but can reach it by e-mail, please use our waismail server to access the user directory. waismail use is described above. You can also request a user address form by e-mail from biosci-help@net.bio.net. Please check your database entry from time-to-time to see if your address information is still up-to-date. Because of our limited personnel resources, we ask that you resubmit a *complete* form to revise your entry; we only replace complete entries and do not have resources to edit old forms.

Download full text from the following website: http://www.cns.ed.ac.uk/people/arjen/competition.html Or request a reprint of the paper version (don't forget to give your address): A.van.Ooyen@nih.knaw.nl ABSTRACT The development of nerve connections is thought to involve competition among axons for survival promoting factors, or neurotrophins, which are released by the cells that are innervated by the axons. Although the notion of competition is widely used within neurobiology, there is little understanding of the nature of the competitive process and the underlying mechanisms. We present a new theoretical model to analyse competition in the development of nerve connections. According to the model, the precise manner in which neurotrophins regulate the growth of axons, in particular the growth of the amount of neurotrophin receptor, determines what patterns of target innervation can develop. The regulation of neurotrophin receptors is also involved in the degeneration and regeneration of connections. Competition in our model can be influenced by factors dependent on and independent of neuronal electrical activity. Our results point to the need to measure directly the specific form of the regulation by neurotrophins of their receptors. -- Arjen van Ooyen, Netherlands Institute for Brain Research, Meibergdreef 33, 1105 AZ Amsterdam, The Netherlands. email: A.van.Ooyen@nih.knaw.nl website: http://www.cns.ed.ac.uk/people/arjen.html phone: +31.20.5665483 fax: +31.20.6961006 From owner-population-bio@net.bio.net Sat May 22 15:22:00 1999 Path: biosci!iapg.cas.cz!slechta From: slechta@iapg.cas.cz ("=?iso-8859-2?Q?Vlastimil_=A9lechta?=") Newsgroups: bionet.population-bio Subject: Genetic data processing Date: 22 May 1999 09:22:26 -0700 Organization: BIOSCI International Newsgroups for Molecular Biology Lines: 13 Sender: daemon@net.bio.net Distribution: world Message-ID: <003501bea46e$6e19e060$1c74e793@barbus.iapg.cas.cz> NNTP-Posting-Host: net.bio.net Usually we used software packages BIOSYS-1 and PHYLIP for processing statistically data on the genetic protein variability in animals to obtain basic population genetic data (allelic freuqencies, heterozygosities, genetic distances etc.).

The human genetics community, both private and academic, is engaged in large scale SNP discovery efforts and assay development. With the imminent development of high throughput methodologies for automating the SNP discovery and screening process, it is likely that many if not all of the common polymorphisms will be identified and characterized in the next several years. As is often the case, data production may outpace current data management and analysis capabilities. New, specialized SNP databases are being designed and implemented to capture the impending flood of polymorphism data. Comprehensiveness of the captured data and the exploration of its intellectual content is essential. Computational methods and tools to handle and analyze polymorphism data flow will certainly play an important role in this challenge. Call for Participation The PSB 2000 session "Human Genome Variation: Analysis, Management and Application of SNP Data" aims to provide a timely forum in this area, bringing together computer scientists, bioinformatics specialists and biologists, from academia and industry, to address the forthcoming problems in the utilization of SNP information. We encourage academic, industrial and government scientists to submit manuscripts. In addition to a session for oral presentation of novel peer-reviewed contributions, there will be a panel discussion devised to foster exchange between industry and academic scientists. Participants are invited to discuss their issues with other peers in this panel session. Posters and computer demonstrations are also requested to complement the session. Topics The contributions should pose and discuss a specific problem that the biocomputing community will need to address, describe models, or propose specific solutions to a problem. Sequence polymorphisms will be the common theme, but the computational or theoretical contributions can span areas ranging from population genetics and evolution to data visualization and management. Among the anticipated topics are: Automation of large scale SNP genotyping. Data management and integration for SNP genotyping systems. Evolutionary aspects of genome variability and SNP analysis. Ontologies for human genome variation. SNP database mining and knowledge discovery. Statistical methods for SNP analysis. Tools for high throughput SNP discovery and screening. Visualization and analysis of SNP data. Submissions PSB will publish accepted full papers in an archival proceedings indexed in MEDLINE. All contributed papers will be rigorously peer-reviewed by at least three referees. A limited number of papers will be selected for a 30-minute oral presentation to the full assembled conference. Accepted poster abstracts will be distributed at the conference separately from the archival Proceedings. Please prepare your submission according to the instructions found at the Web page: http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/psb/cfp-snp.html Dates & Deadlines Paper submissions due: July 12, 1999 Notification of paper acceptance: August 27, 1999 Camera ready of accepted papers due: September 24, 1999 Abstract deadline: October 1, 1999 Meeting: January 5-9, 2000 Conference Information The Pacific Symposium on Biocomputing (PSB 2000) is an international, multidisciplinary conference for the presentation and discussion of current research in the theory and application of computational methods in problems of biological significance.

But this is related to computers how? >>> Thank you. Indicates poverty gap About 80% of the world may NEVER get to use a computer in their lifetime. That makes the rest of us, no matter what computer platform we are on, incredibly privileged. I think PROUT needs to focus on more important inequalities. What is their stance on population control BTW? Overpopulation and the human instinct for territoriality are what produce the greatest inequalities in our world of Homo sapiens. POPULATION GROWTH AND CONTROL In today's world, the economic and social environment of human society is restless and disturbed. In such an abnormal situation, population growth has been projected as a menacing threat to the existence of human society. In fact, this sort of propaganda is nothing but an evil conspiracy engineered by vested interests. No problem is greater than the human capacity to solve it and, like all problems confronting humanity, the socalled problem of over-population should be tackled and solved in a proper way. In the natural course of evolution, birth and death are a never-ending process of creation. New babies are born into our society giving great pleasure to their parents and family members. Unfortunately, there are some people, whether in the government or other spheres of public life, who consider the present birth rate a curse on society. This kind of negative approach is definitely a blot on the glory of humanity which has attained developed intellectual power and scientific knowledge. Does a population problem actually exist? This issue should be considered in the perspective of two vital factors - the availability of food and the availability of space. Today human beings have enough resources to manage their food. Planet Earth is rich enough to feed a far greater number of people than the present population. But due to lack of coordinated co-operation, collective efforts, a proper ideology and proper planning, the human society has been fragmented into many belligerent groups and sub-groups, and into rich and poor nations. Because of this fissiparous tendency, human beings are presently incapable of producing enough food to meet the demand. The tragedy is that there are enough resources to supply proper food to all human beings in the world, but the defect lies in the present approach of the existing socioeconomic systems. Moreover, there is no shortage of space on the planet if the existing space is properly utilized. Because the world has been fragmented by so many arbitrary social, economic and political restrictions, as well as by the pervasive influence of dogmas, human beings are unable to tackle problems in a natural way. If the existing resources could be maximally and rationally distributed, pressing socioeconomic problems would be solved. It is a law of nature that nature provides a mother with sufficient breast milk to feed her newly-born baby. In the same way, nature provides sufficient resources like food and other essential requirements for all human beings. Human beings need only utilize these resources in a proper way. Shortages of food and space cannot be blamed on nature. These problems have been artificially created by the folly of human beings. Nevertheless, it is a fact that the population of the word is rapidly increasing, and due to this many people have become frightened. In capitalist countries there are sufficient reasons for such fear. In these countries an increase in the population means a corresponding increase in poverty of the people. But there is no reason for such fear in a collective economic system. In the event of shortages in the food and accommodation of the population of the world, people will convert uncultivated land into new arable land, increase the productivity of the soil by scientific methods, produce food by chemical processes with earth, water and air, and if this earth decreases in its productivity, then land seeking human beings will migrate to different planets and satellites and settle there. In the present socioeconomic world, PROUT has a clear, positive approach and a comprehensive policy to tackle the population problem. According to PROUT, population growth will automatically find a natural level if the following four factors exist in society. First, there should be economic affluence in the society so that people will be provided with a nutritious diet. In Scandinavia, for example, the purchasing capacity of the people is high and they enjoy a good standard of living. They do not face any over-population problem. Secondly, everybody should enjoy sound health. If people have a healthy body and mind, their glandular system will remain balanced and they can easily channelize their physical energy into psychic and spiritual activities. This process of channelization is the only way to check the mental flow towards crude propensities. Thirdly, people should be free from unnecessary mental worries and anxieties. When one suffers from mental agonies the mind naturally indulges in crude enjoyments to forget its pain. If mental agonies are removed, people will enjoy peace of mind and they can assimilate subtle ideas. Fourthly, the intellectual standard of humanity should be enhanced. With intellectual advancement human beings can begin to develop their all round psychic potentiality and can easily develop their psycho-spiritual potential. Through continued effort human beings will attain the Supreme Stance, merging their individual unit existence into Supreme Consciousness.

P R Sarkar This direction of conversation may prove even more fruitful eventually. If we are to discuss spirituality, the concept of evil will finally be reduced to how unfortunate the evil ones are... spiritual progress is not stopped by someone else's material selfishness. The principles of PROUT seem idealistic to me. But that is where thinking begins. It is reallly a long process to create reality from the drawing board in something this big. The following link contains some of the best outlines of the problem by lifetime researchers in human population biology whose integrity seems pretty good. They might not be exactly right about everything but these issues deserve fair assessment. http://www.bio.net/hypermail/POPULATION-BIOLOGY/9504/0033.html Mike Pearson From owner-population-bio@net.bio.net Sat May 29 23:45:00 1999 Path: biosci!ELLENSBURG.COM!digress From: digress@ELLENSBURG.COM (Mike Pearson) Newsgroups: bionet.population-bio Subject: RE: don't need population control Date: 29 May 1999 17:45:22 -0700 Organization: BIOSCI International Newsgroups for Molecular Biology Lines: 81 Sender: daemon@net.bio.net Distribution: world Message-ID: <199905300029.RAA27573@larry.ellensburg.com> NNTP-Posting-Host: net.bio.net > don't need population control > > Dharmadeva (djdd@metz.une.edu.au) > Thu, 27 May 1999 00:25:01 +1000 > > * Messages sorted by: [ date ][ thread ][ subject ][ author ] > * Next message: Ron Hill: "contest" > * Previous message: Tari: "WONDERFUL HOME BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY" > * Next in thread: mufeedah@erols.com: "Re: don't need population > control" > * Reply: mufeedah@erols.com: "Re: don't need population control" > * Reply: Knights of Columbus: "Re: don't need population > control" > > -------------------------------------------------------------------- > > To: pop-bio@net.bio.net > > From: "Dharmadeva" > > Subject: don't need population control > > Date: Thu, 27 May 1999 00:25:01 +1000 > > In article <7au6oq$hln$4@reader1.reader.news.ozemail.net>, > "Dharmadeva" > wrote: > > > PROUT - PROgressive Utilisation Theory http://www.prout.org > > http://www.globaltimes.net > > New Renaissance: A Journal for Social and Spiritual Awakening: > > http://www.ru.org > > I like what I see at your website.

If this conversation is spiritual and managerial, we can see the so-called evil ones as unfortunate, since their selfishness cannot prevent our spiritual progress. The real solutions begin with this idealistic thinking, and drawing board work has to start somewhere. http://www.bio.net/hypermail/POPULATION-BIOLOGY/9504/0033.html summarizes difficult-to-avoid points from books by lifetime researchers in this area, whose vested interests are not at all obvious. If you see the real problems clearly, maybe your spiritual path will bear fruit on this topic. Best wishes.
